Remember when Lady Gaga made a music video where she killed her boyfriend and everyone called her a genius?
Well, remember when Rihanna made a video where she killed her rapist, and the media was, “This is too violent for mainstream airplay.”
That is called RACISM IN THE MEDIA.
I hate the idea that fat girls should be grateful for unwanted attention.
PROOF OF LIFE – JANUARY 2015.

I think the fact that you are actively trying to learn is more important than the fact that you used to be wrong.
I mean, Pretenders: Always remember that and HOW you were wrong. Just don’t get so hung up on that that you forget to become less wrong.
